Cuando pases a mi lao,
no te hagás la que no ves;
si de sobra vos sabés
de que yo soy tu pasao.
En la fábrica soñé
ser el dueño de tu amor,
vos en cambio te cansaste
y dejaste el taller.
Mariposa,
que volás entre las luces
de una vida color rosa;
el dinero con su loca tentación
te ha robado el corazón.
¡A otra cosa que yo
soy el mismo de ayer!
¡A otra cosa que yo
soy aquel que esperó
tu salida al taller!
¿A quién vas a engañar?
¿A quién vas a querer?
¡A otra cosa che pebeta,
con el biógrafo que hacés!
(Instrumental)
¿A quién vas a engañar?
¿A quién vas a querer?
¡A otra cosa che pebeta,
con el biógrafo que hacés!
When you walk past me,
don’t pretend you don’t see me,
because you know only too well
that I am your past.
In the factory, while I was dreaming
about being the master of your love,
you grew tired
and left work.
Butterfly,
you fly between the lights
of a life painted in pink;
cash with its mad temptation
has stolen your heart.
It’s time to flitter away from me,
I’m the same as yesterday!
It’s time to fly away from me,
I am the one who waited
for you at the exit of the factory!
Who are you going to cheat?
Who are you going to love?
It’s time to fly away, come on, chick,
you’re making such a fuss!
(Instrumental)
Who are you going to cheat?
Who are you going to love?
It’s time to fly away, come on, chick,
you’re making such a fuss!
